Dr. Hamming was awesome! I was able to schedule online. She was very patient with my six year old and explained everything in a way we could understand. They were able to do a hearing test in office without a separate appointment. He staff was courteous and professional. I will definitely recommend Dr. Hamming to family and friends!
September 18, 2020Walter E.Verified patient
This was one of the few times my daughter didn’t cry during a doctors appointment. She really felt comfortable with Dr. Hamming.
More than 1 year agoCharlotte M.Verified patient
The appointment was quick and the dr is very gentle and pleasing. She cleaned wax from my daughter's ears.
However, the receptionist seemed to be somewhat cold and aloof, and NOT customer friendly. Maybe she was having a bad day , she had no smile and speech was dry.
September 16, 2019Ayesha M.Verified patient
As always, she is supper nice, takes the time to hear all concerns and answers them in a way I can understand. My child has had 2 surgeries of the larynx with Dr.Hamming and soon having adenoids removed. I feel confident in her expertise.

Very nice acknowledgable and friendly.
March 8, 2017Lillian M.Verified patient
She was really good. I went to have my baby's ear cleaned, and she did it fast. The only complaint I have is that the person she called to help keep my baby's head still, did not use any hand sanitizer or gloves before putting her hands around my baby's face.
However, the doctor was good.

We have seen Dr. Hamming three times between two of my kids. She has been excellent each time. My son is scheduled next week to get his tonsils removed by her.
November 28, 2016Bryce S.Verified patient
The doctor seems knowledgeable and professional, The office reception girl was not nice, and after all, gave me expired coupon for the expensive drug.

The doctor was nice and caring. However, the office messed up with my appointment and kept us waiting for more than an hour. The doctor has to run between rooms to get us treated. Bad administration and coordination.
March 25, 2016Alvin F.Verified patient
I am an adult, who didn't read the fine print to learn that she mostly works with children. She was very gracious and professional and fixed my problem. I would be glad to see her again and refer my friends to her.

June 19, 2014Kailey L.Verified patient
I would highly recommend Dr.Hamming to anyone. She's just so carrying and nice and patient and wonderful. She is highly recommended and respected by other experienced Dr's as well. My baby had 2 laryngomalacia surgeries with her, at 10 days old and at 2mos old - both very successful and now she can breathe and eat on her own. We are so pleased with Dr.Hamming. Don't hesitate to ask her questions!
